I underestimated the hills, and went out way to fast. <br /><br />This was my 16th marathon and I have never taken salt until March 26th when I ran my first 50 miler in Utah. I was taking 2 tabs every hour and my hands got so swollen that I had to cut back to 1 tab every hour and a half. I am guessing it just wasn't a hot enough day for that much salt. However, I did take a salt tab every hour in Nashville. I didn't have any cramping, but I hit the wall big time and wanted to quit at 17. <br /><br />Well done on a hard run.Janice {Run Far}https://www.blogger.com/profile/15336320481965470701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398374939812441475.post-24670073717191639682011-05-02T13:31:34.786-07:002011-05-02T13:31:34.786-07:00F@#king cramps!

Now people are telling me is my core and I need to work on it more. So now I am doing core workouts three to four times a week. Maybe it will work... <br /><br />Great job finishing man! You really should be proud. Making it through that pain is hardcore!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818188284808979826noreply@blogger.com
